BASE Kids & Parents,
We have been connecting with you through our Daily Family Resource Guides on our website's Program Blog and our BASE Fort Atkinson Facebook page, and also adding new content to our BASE Kids Lab. We have also been working on organizing opportunities for BASE Staff to connect with you virtually.
We know there is a lot of information and responsibility for our families virtually right now. These sessions are an opportunity for kids to unwind, connect and have some fun. We hope it will also provide parents some time at the end of the day.
How to join the BASE Virtual After School Hangouts:
Email Melissa at melissa@basefortatkinson.org with the email address she can send the confirmation email and calendar invitation to that will be used to connect a device in your home to the Virtual After School Hangout at the scheduled date and time.
Review the BASE Online Teaching & Learning Guidelines that will be sent in the confirmation email. Please email Alicia at alicia@basefortatkinson.org or Melissa with any questions you may have.
Help your BASE member connect to the Virtual After School Hangout at the date and time in the calendar invite.

LEMONADE DAY GOES ONLINE!
COVID-19 has required a shift in the planning of this year’s Lemonade Day, including postponing the kick-off event and all mentoring sessions leading up to Lemonade Day. Event organizers are planning to reschedule for a Saturday in late summer. But we do have some GREAT NEWS! The National Lemonade Day organization has made available Lemonopolis, a free online version of workbooks and materials for all kids, not just those who are registered for Lemonade Day. This means that kids will be able to set a goal, make a plan and work the plan from the comfort of their own home!
To access Lemonopolis: Click here to register
Please contact Kelley at projects@fortchamber.com with any questions.
